I went to a MLK event for elementary children this year. It was an annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Poster Contest in Alexandria, Va. Children from grades 1-5 drew posters that best represents what Dr. King stood for and they gave 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honoree prizes to the kids with the best posters. I have to tell you, I believe some of those kids surprised the hell out of their parents with the things they knew about Dr. King. I saw it on there faces, and for some, the kids knew more than the parents. This is so true! I went to a MLK event for elementary children this year.

I used to tell my Black Studies students to take Vietnam out and write Iraq in and it would read exactly the same. MLK was looking ahead in a way that had the FBI very worried. The same is true for Baldwin's "No Name on the Street" ... the message is the same and the issues so much the same. When I think about MLK's message here I can't but think that he would not have approved of the way things have gone since the civil rights struggle. Peace, Ridwan Thanks for putting MLK’s vietnam speech up. I used to tell my Black Studies students to take Vietnam out and write Iraq in and it would read exactly the same.

The same is true for Baldwin’s “No Name on the Street” … the message is the same and the issues so much the same.
